Application Due: March 15th

We wanted to let you know about a new class being offered in the spring semester that provides a unique opportunity for students!

The Shoe Leather Epidemiology course is a 1 credit hour, pass/fail, seminar style course that will offer students the opportunity to learn about applied epidemiology and field work through lectures taught by local health department leaders and UTSPH Professors. The course will teach students about rapid assessments, risk communication, emergency preparedness and response, vector control, analysis, and more. Students have the chance to learn survey and interviewing skills, basic life-support techniques, earn training certificates, and much more. In addition to improving any aspiring public health professional’s resumé, this course will allow you to meet and network with leaders in local health departments and learn about career opportunities.

The course will be available to all campuses through ITV on Tuesdays from 4:00-4:50pm. If you are interested check out the attached flyer for more information and look for course PH 2998 taught by Catherine Troisi on My.UTH. If you have any questions about the course, feel free to email Lauren Leining at [email protected].
